The 906 Carrera 6, introduced in 1966, was a milestone in the history of Porsche racing cars. Equipped with the 1991cc 6-cylinder engine type 901/20 with 220 horsepower at 8000 rpm, the 906 was the ideal car even for private teams who made extensive use of it until the early seventies. The 906 also received a long tail bodywork for circuits such as Le Mans. Among the most significant successes of the 906 is the 1966 Targa Florio with Mairesse and Mueller.
In the history of static modeling, Spark has truly revolutionized the market. The brand was created by Hugues Ripert, whose father André had been one of the main contenders of the artisanal modeling scene in the 70s and 80s. After working for Vitesse, Quartzo and Ixo, Ripert jr did not choose the diecast technique but opted for resin, with production in China but development and conception strictly in the European tradition. In practice the idea was to offer special models built in small series (what were later called "resincast"). The first Sparks were released in 2000, with a quality-price ratio unapproachable for most industrial and artisanal producers. Today Spark continues to churn out dozens of new products a year, having also expanded its production to other scales, such as 1:18 but also 1:64. There are numerous numbered and limited series for the various national distributors and for private customers such as teams, sponsors, drivers and so on.
